Sad Trombone Sound Effect

Tap to play the sad trombone sound.

The sad trombone sound effect is a descending wah-wah-wah that marks a letdown. Podcasters use it after a wrong answer, and meme editors use it after a fail.

Play It on a Soundboard

The sad trombone sound is also on the Meme Soundboard and the Podcast Soundboard, next to similar sounds you can tap one after another. To make a board of your own picks, use My Soundboard.
